You can **manage contracts with health plans and their renewal dates** by registering each contract with its terms, fee tables, contacts and renewal date, attaching the signed documents and getting alerts well before each renewal.

In **Jestor**, contracts appear in a **Kanban** and a calendar of expiries, so renegotiations start on time.

## Why do health plan contracts need tracking?

Clinics often work with several health plans, each with different fees, rules and renewal dates.

When contracts sit in a drawer, renewals happen automatically on old terms or lapse without notice.

## What problems does contract tracking solve?

- Missed renewal and renegotiation windows
- Outdated fee tables in use
- Signed contracts hard to find
- No owner for each relationship
- Unclear terms when disputes arise

## How do I track health plan contracts in Jestor?

1. **Create a contracts table** with health plan, start date, renewal date and status.
2. **Attach contracts and fee tables** to each record.
3. **Show a calendar** of renewal dates.
4. **Add an automation** that creates a renegotiation task ahead of each renewal.
5. **Track renegotiations** through phases: Upcoming, In negotiation, Renewed, Ended.

| Status          | Meaning                  | Action                    |
| --------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------- |
| Active          | Contract in force        | Monitor                   |
| Renewal pending | Renewal date approaching | Start renegotiation       |
| In negotiation  | Terms under discussion   | Record proposals          |
| Ended           | Contract terminated      | Inform staff and patients |

## How do I prepare a renegotiation?

Use dashboards showing volume and payment times per health plan.

Data on each plan's performance supports a stronger negotiation.

## Why use Jestor for health plan contracts?

- **Ready template**: Contracts and Document Management in the [Jestor templates](https://www.jestor.com/pt/templates/?ref=blog.jestor.com) includes expiry calendars and documents.
- **Renewal alerts**: automations create tasks before deadlines.
- **Documents in context**: signed files stay with each contract.
- **Performance data**: dashboards per health plan.

Fee tables change over the life of a contract. Keeping each version attached with its effective date helps billing apply the right values and gives the clinic evidence if a payment arrives with a different amount than agreed.

This is how you manage contracts with health plans and their renewal dates without surprises.
